Set in the summer of 1965, “Moonrise Kingdom” follows two-twelve-year olds who fall in love and run away into the wilderness, all the while keeping a secret pact. Unfortunately for the kids, they live on an island off the coast of New England and a storm’s coming. The usually tranquil island community is turned on its head as various authorities, from the sheriff to the local boy scout leader try and track down the couple.

Written by Roman Coppola and Wes Anderson, who also directed, the film features an ensemble cast including Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, France McDormand, Jason Schwartzman, Bob Balaban and Harvey Keitel. Watch the trailer after the jump. Read More »

Actors and filmmakers at the panel for the film “Red” at Comic-Con stressed that the graphic novel adaptation is funny, not just action-packed.

Co-star Bruce Willis said he wished somebody had filmed all the mistakes they made while shooting — as well as everybody’s faces as they tried not to laugh at each other during the filming.

“Every day was fun and funny,” Willis said. “I know everybody understands that acting is a really difficult job. It’s hard work — you’ve got to get dressed up, you’ve got to hang around beautiful women, it’s difficult. It’s a problem. But on this film it was just a blast.”
